Favorite Movies

The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, both versions of Romeo and Juliet, StarDust, Serenity, The Fifth Element, 1776, Sleepy Hollow, Stargate, Pride and Prejudice, The Sword in the Stone, Flower Drum Song, The Producers, 1001 Arabian Nights, Newsies, The Canterville Ghost, The Saint, Goonies, the Captain America Movies (omg how good was Civil War?!)

I used to keep up with so much, but then I got a "real" job and now it's all about the Kdramas. Luckily a girl at work is into them too!

Things It Might Help To Know

If we are swapping something craft related, I can never have enough yarn or fabric. Yarn--cotton would be best, but I like acrylic too. I like bold colors. If you have any patterns for crochet or knitting, send them on over!

Travel themes equal big love. I'm not so much into road map type things, but postcards, handmade or store bought journals to write in, good pens (I love those BIC pens, the short ones that you can just squeeze your hand to click?) to write with, handmade or store bought stationary with matching envelopes, envelopes made from magazines, or a handmade city guide would be great.

Stuff to stay organized with teaching--I've been a teacher of English as a Second Language for years. I was in South Korea for one of those years teaching in a Korean kindergarten. I never got to go to China or Japan, but I will. I now live in Germany and plan to see much of Europe.

I majored in history.

For some reason, I find Christopher Moore's humor absolutely hilarious. Mostly because of his word play.

I like random facts. If they are historical in nature, you are my new best friend. You never know when you'll need this stuff on Jeopardy or during a rousing game of "Dude, Did You Know...?" (it's an ongoing challenge I've got going with my Biology-major best friend. I'm fighting on the side of Liberal Arts majors everywhere, lol)

I do not believe that a person must be formally educated to be considered intelligent. As a university grad, I have been witness to incredible acts of stupidity during my scholastic career.

I'm not very religious. I appreciate religion in all its forms, but I'd rather not get into overtly religious messages or discussions. You've got your way, I've got mine--it's all good.

I have a musical family. Mother--piano, guitar, accordion. Father--guitar, dulcimer, mandolin, drums, piano. Brother--drums, guitar. Me--Zip. Nada. No way. But I love music. Love love love it. I have been the captive audience for years.

Wishlist

Stationery. I'm not really a heart/flowers/puppies/kittens/Diddl/horses kind of girl.

Stamps, stickers, any kind of cool paperclip.

Recipes. I'm on LCHF/Keto and I love it! Any new recipes would be great!

Feminist stuff!

Comment: Hi Nicole, thanks for sharing your 2017 Bucket List with me. You have a lot countries you're planning to visit in 2017, that's so nice! I hope you will reach all your goals in the new year :) You asked me about my USA trip, I've been to California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. I've visited some cities, but I'm more a nature person, so I've visited a lot amazing National Parks. It really was a dream trip for me! All best wishes, Marit

I really enjoyed reading your profile, so much detail @u It gives me a good idea of your personality! I daydream about travelling all over the place & I'm so jealous of the places you've been! ;P Living in Germany & having taught in Korea..? That must have been a great experience :D As you are now in Europe you should jump on an interail train & see how much of Europe you can see by rail! ^-^

Hi there, what an interesting profile! I checked out your GoodReads too, hadnt heard of many so will have to broaden my horizons!! Saw 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' in a shop the other day. Is it any good?? I see you like the film 'Pride and Prejudice' who is your fave Darcy?? I love Colin Firth!!

You sound super crafty too, I love knitting and embroidery, only learning to crochet now.

And you are a crafty person !! + creative + a music lover. Cool ! I love music too. And I too look for good new music that are tolerable to listen to .

Hello,
I am a partner for the leaving a commit on someone's profile. I sincerely apologize for being a day late, I mixed up my days. I must say I love your taste in movies. My personal faves from the list you mentioned are Stardust and The Fifth Element. It must be so fascinating and fun being an overseas teacher. I comend people who have the adventerous spirit to do such amazing things. Myselof, I can do a little bit of Crocheting, but the others are unfortunatly lost to me. I hope you dog in TN is having fun and I think it's wonderful your other dog is a rescue!
